For over thirty years, parts of Sweden lived in fear of a man who came to be known as the Dawn Pyroman. The police suspect him of having started over a hundred fires, many of them classified as murder fires and they have used extreme methods to catch him but without much success. Despite the fact that they persecuted him around the clock at times, they could only obtain sufficient evidence for a conviction in a few isolated cases. In recent years, journalist Nils Bergman has delved into many notable Swedish legal cases. Now the turn has come for the Dawn Pyroman.—Andreas Sellfors
